Most kids start kindergarten when they're 4 or 5. Some states you have to be 5 by a certain date, Aug 1 or Sept 15 for instance. Some you start first grade the calendar year you turn 6 even if it's in December. That's a local choice. My granddaughter turned 6 in February and she's in kindergarten. Her brother is 8 and he's in 3rd grade. Elementary, grade or grammar school is grades 1-5 or 1-6 or 1-8, again depending on local custom and whether it's a public school or parochial school. The term used for this level of school differs around the country, but it all means the same thing. Public schools usually have an elementary school, then middle school which would be 6th, 7th and 8th grade, then high school. We usually refer to the grade in high school as freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. They can also be called 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade, but that's not really common. Parish schools and private schools are usually Kindergarten through 8th grade. Sometimes private schools go all the way through high school. I was almost 6 when I started kindergarten because my birthday is September 30 and the cut off was September 15. I had to wait an extra year. I was almost 15 when I graduated from 8th grade, but most kids are 14. My nephew is 14 in 8th grade. His brother is 11 in 6th grade, but he's the youngest 6th grader and since that's the lowest grade in his school, he's the youngest in the school. Most kids graduate from high school around the age of 18, although some may still be 17. There were girls in my class who wouldn't be 18 until August, and I turned 19 in September.
